"In addition to breaking my wrist, I somehow managed to injure my face as well. I’ll spare you the gruesome details, but when I came out of surgery the night of my fall, the doctor told [Underwood’s husband] Mike that he had put between 40 and 50 stitches in,” Underwood wrote on Jan. 1.

She called the fall a “freak random accident” and said she was “grateful that it wasn’t much, much worse.” Underwood added that she wanted to share the details about her fall to let her fans know why she “might look a bit different” when she returns on camera.

The singer said, "I'm hoping that, by then, the differences are minimal, but, again, I just don't know how it's all going to end up."

While Underwood has kept her face off of social media since the fall, she was photographed at a gym class with "Below Deck" star Adrienne Gang a month after her injury.

Gang wrote on Dec. 12 alongside a picture of she and Underwood, “Just worked out next to @carrieunderwood NBD... she is adorable and so gracious... LOVE HER!”
